In the clip below, a couple of Purdue football managers were inside the Big House ("setting up the field" according to YouTube) and decided to "recreate" the blocked FG that gave Appalachian State its victory over Michigan in A2 last month...

Funny stuff. I haven't laughed that hard since I watched the team that lost to Appy State crank slap Purdue 48-21 last Saturday.

Of course, these Purdue staff members had to reference the M/ASU game because to recreate a Purdue victory over Michigan in the Big House, they'd have to ask their grandparents what that would be like, as it hasn't happened since 1966.

Maybe if Joe Tiller's staff had prepared their team instead of being so busy making wacky YouTube clips on their opponent's field, they might not have been completely embarrassed last weekend.

Then again, what can you expect from folks associated with a coach who has his team kick an onside kick with :08 seconds left and down by 27 points (after having them kick another onside kick before that with under two minutes left and down by 34 points).

Ed. Note Update: Since it's hard to read tone sometimes in a post, for the record, I was actually more pissed off about Joe Tiller running onside kicks with :08 seconds left than the knuckleheads in the video above. I know we're going to be hearing about "that game" for a loooong time. Fair enough. Hell, we poked as much fun at our team as anybody after The Debacle.

But as T9 and a couple other commenters basically said about the clip above:

Making fun of Michigan on their own field...pretty funny.Video taping it...kinda dumb.Posting it on YouTube AFTER losing by 27 points?...Pricelessy stupid. And thus ripe for a little reverse mocking.

As I read this, my first thought was "maybe they should have actually been working..." and then you went and said that.

I think it's a rather strong testament to Michigan as a program to show the amount of heart (and Hart) it has since falling to 0-2. I wouldn't have minded a 1-3 start from y'all, but it says more that UM bounced back than it would have if it rolled through. Good luck the rest of the way and give OSU their second loss.

Ok, my question is, after losing so terribly......would you put that up on Utube?? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that is a stupid idea. We may be the team that lost to Appy State, but (as has been said before) they are the team that lost to the team that lost to Appy State........aside from the fact that it is amazing disrespectful to do that in OUR house. I guess this proves that we are a better team, in more ways than one.

it's idiots like you that are the reason people are tired of ignorant buckeye fans on this site. Disrespecting the tradition that is the "Big House" means disrespecting cfb tradition. Go back to your trailer.

The rest of you guys might be over-reacting just a little bit, i mean, these aren't players doing this, it's managers (whatever they do). They wanted to have a memory that they could take home from the Big House (along with the ass whooping that their team got). It's silly, but it's all in good fun, IMHO.

Schwatt,i don't think you know anything about college football. Appalachian State is a very good team, no matter which designation they have, or how many scholarships they offer. Every program goes through down turns, and kicking UM when it's down isn't the smartest thing for any OSU fan.If you don't respect your hosts (and people that host this site are UM fans), you're a shitty guest, and you should leave.

This is what happens when the game passes your coach by- people end up laughing at you. Doesn't matter if they'd be smarter not to, you're still a joke. That's what Lloyd's done to the program. Winning out the schedule & beating Oregon in a Rose Bowl rematch won't change that.

Were these kids from Purdue stupid to post this after their own beat down? Certainly. But "App St - Michigan" is a punchline for the rest this season. And smart or not, we're going to keep hearing it.

On the good side? Memories are short and by next season there will be something else- my bet it'll be ND's continued losing streak reaching "Duke" levels. But that's next year.

Thank you for your response, you're right App State is the best program in the country, so good in fact I'm sure they will easily go undefeated. This year was a down year for michigan as can be expected with all that talent returning. I'm mixing up a glass of kool-aid now to excuse away the App State loss, thanks for the ingredients.

Thank you for enlightening me, a supposed osu fan, you do indeed know everything about me and college football, little did I know that blogspot.com was a UM site. I appreciate your time and effort spent corresponding with me. Best of luck in all your future endeavors.

Dude,i'm the last person selling michigan kool-aid, but there're lines of respect that you don't cross. If you don't understand that (after i tried explaining it to u twice) i got nothing else to say to u.

I jus wann say, Schwatt is right, Appalachain state is the best program in the country, shoot, last week we beat Northwestern louisana state tech A&M by fordy. I think tdem shirts with calvin peeing on michigan is right, AnnArbor is a whore. Yeee-haw go dale Jr!!!

At times to be silent is to lie. You will win because you have enough brute force. But you will not convince. For to convince you need to persuade. And in order to persuade you would need what you lack: Reason and right. ~ Miguel de Unamuno

Twatt09 - Save the vitriol for Nov. 17th. You'll need it to face all those marshmallows. Just because Michigan fans don't throw feces and batteries at opposing fans and burn furniture doesn't mean we don't care. Go troll somewhere else.

OSU has never had class, save a few readers. I will go to any Big Ten stadium and have fun, except that toilet in Columbus. People there take the game way too seriously. Honestly, these are 20-year olds that bucknuts have become so emotionally invested in that they'd injure an opposing fan over. Grow up asshats!

Yeah its damn embarrassing to lose to Appy State and it sucks. But it takes pure idiocy to put that up after getting shellacked by the team you are mocking.

Schwatt: Welcome to the site. You are continuing a long line of buckeye fans educating us poor Michigan fans on how pathetic our program is.

I personally look forward to your thoughtful insight, superior football knowledge, and creative humor. Good luck in efforts to enlighten Wolverine fans everywhere and change the standard image we have of Ohio State fans.

i will take exception to you calling the 'Shoe a toilet bowl, while you're (and righfully so) chastising that idiot for mocking the Big House. If you have so much more class than us Buckeye fans, why don't you demonstrate some, instead of sinking to that dumb-ass's level.

Hehe what's funny is you guys think Schwat is a buckeye fan, hehe I know him and he ain't. I like how this went from making fun of Michigan for losing to App State to "Well we're (Michigan fans) smarter than you (OSU fans)" especially when you're target ISN'T even a OSU fan and for the record he does have a more prestigeous degree than any of yours. Ivy league anyone? Who's smarter? the guy who riles up the Michigan fans anonymously without revealiing his loyalties, or the person who falls for the bait? Nice work, Michigan, Hail to the Victors!!

So Twat is an Ivy-league brainiac that anonymously trolls college football sites to piss off fans? Yeah, that's a real show of his intelligence.

All us simple Big Ten folk know that Ivy League is as much nepotism and grade fixing as it's real education. So these lofty claims of brain-busting degrees are not impressive - and most likely, a bunch of bullshit.

Common sense and class? Seems like that post loses credibility when you start it with an inappropriate term for a part of the female anatomy, now that's class, good work Michigan! You can't be serious...

And by bullshit, I mean a lie. Anyone can come on here and claim to be a Nobel laureate, anonymously. If he was so well educated, he could at least punctuate his posts correctly (the "shift" key makes capital letters). From his writings it appears as if he is an uneducated malcontent with a penchant for making noise.

Now, who's the dumb one? You think i'm a UM fan? You might have an Ivy League education, but you surely can't read. As far as me calling you (cuz i'm pretty sure you and the TWAT are the same person) "an innapropriate term for a part of female anatomy" i'll call you what i want to call you. You got a lot of balls to question my credibility, buddy.

I never claimed to be the king of Class. I'd probably be the guy pissing on your rug, Dude. By the way, its funny that you use that handle, when you definitely are not as cool as The Dude. He'd be out rolling a game as high as a kite, not trolling the Michigan blogs to get a rise.

It's hard to question credibility if you know one has none. But ok brother. Do you think I care if you like UM or whoever? Nice civilized conversation we have here. Just hurl some explotives at me and beat your wife.

Its foolish to ask if one thinks you care if we like Michigan. It's self-evident that you care by the simple fact that you come here and post to get a rise. If you didn't care that we are Michigan fans, then you wouldn't even troll here.

Oh, i'm sorry, i guess your idea of civilized conversation is to come someplace and call your host's fooball stadium a "craphouse". I'll make sure i keep that in mind. When you come in and disrespect people that frequent this blog, you remove any possibility of being engaged in a civilized discussion. I don't know how many times i have to keep typing it, for you to get it.

I really don't find pot stirrers as intelligent people, insecurity is their big trade mark. You Dude, are a pot stirrer, and your behavior does not show respect or intelligence. This post started as a look at what was a classless act by some guys from Purdue. We have laughed at ourselves over the Appy State loss, probably more than anyone else. We get that it is a joke, nevertheless, for a team that was totally creamed by us, it shows incredible stupidity to post that. That is all that is being said here, then the pot stirrers arrived and began a another classless act. Get Lost.

Can't we all just get along? Is it time for some people to take naps?!I love coming to this site for all the comedy and banter and this string of posts has gotten overly serious and ugly. Time out everyone. Back to your corners and deep breaths....

Damn it, people, it's a trap! For all you know the tosu "regulars" created fake IDs, logged on & said nasty things, then logged back on as themselves to appear to be reasonable, thus luring us into a false sense of security and eventually getting Yost to let his guard down.

Believe me! Santa,the Easter Bunny, & "reasonable" buckeyes all live in the same place- imagination.

I wondered when this would surface.I feel compelled to defend myself and the other "regulars," but my unmarked black helicopter needs servicing.

By the way, is my tin hat off-center? Being good starts with looking good.

I know YOU are up to something. now YOU know that i know that you are up to something. but what you don't know is that i know that you know that i know that you know that i know that you are up to something, you know?

time for the x-files. and remember- i know.

BTW- McGuffie is on the Deuce (the high school stadium seats 11,000), for the truly dedicated(or truly paranoid- you know who you are, and so do i).

SiC,the only problem with your logic is that all the posts are traceable (sp?) by either the domain from which the user logs on or their IP. So, either me and WSBuck can exist in several different places at the same time (which is impossible even for the "evil Bucknuts") or you're a little paranoid :-)But, of course, since we're on the UM site it's us, it's not you.

you could all have multiple computers signed in under multiple IDs creating multiple blogger names. picture you all now in your lairs/mothers' basements w/ multiple screens/pc's/game cubes, wearing your troy smith jerseys, photo shopped pic of you and tressel in the back grounds...

and just cause i'm paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to get me.

besides, whetstone never makes eye contact and wngrg is always looking down at the ground,shifting his weight from one foot to the other, and even you two suspect srudoff, so what's to trust?

"So, either me and WSBuck can exist in several different places at the same time (which is impossible even for the "evil Bucknuts")"

Uh, thanks for coming to the rescue, but I can, well, what I'm trying to say is...hmmm. Things are not always as they appear. Okay, here goes: I can be several places at once. Now, that's just between you and me so keep it on the down low.

Whatever you do don't tell SiC. He's on to me. I purposely don't make eye contact with him. To do so would reduce him to a heap of maize and blue ashes.
